Since they're an Ivy, they won't lose $ on scholarships and will probably save $. In fact they should all cancel all their sports.

Why eliminate a sport that easily accommodates social distancing?

i guess since they have the name "liberal" in it, you want to nuke them. it's a free country man, if a person wants to get a degree in literature or art or (whatever else they offer; i honestly don't know or care) then let 'em. maybe they aren't going to college to get a better job.

They're cutting these sports to save money I imagine. You would think an Ivy League school could survive a bad year or two without cutting the athletic budget though.

The way the elite colleges hoard their endowments is criminal.

Janitors, secretaries, cafeteria workers, landscapers. I'm sure there's massive bloat, but they're not all sitting around waiting for cocktail hour at the faculty club.
